Hi, this is my first post- I just got a pair of little Monitor 4 bookshelf speakers and am contemplating pairing them with an upcoming low-wattage tube project. I have searched the web to no avail to find what the sensitivity of these is; for low power tube apps one generally looks for 90+db...

They sound great so far on an old NAD 3020 though!

They are in the 90+ dB range. I run a pair of Monitor 5B's (larger cousin to the 4's) with a 14wpc all tube integrated (6V6 powered) and it does fine.
